Coleen Nolan is holding a book signing in Lancashire: here is everything you need to know

59-year-old singer turned presenter and writer Coleen is set to release her latest book called ‘A Hand to Hold’ on August 28 2024.

Ahead of the book’s release, the mum of three has announced she will be running a book signing in her hometown of Blackpool and below is everything you need to know.

What is the book about?

Coleen’s A Hand to Hold, which has the subtitle “All I’ve learnt about grief”, is described as “the friendly, compassionate and supportive companion for anyone faced with loss.”

The publisher’s description reads: “Inspired by her own healing journey, and her podcast on grief, Coleen has put together this heartfelt and helpful journey through how to cope with all kinds of grief, drawing not just on her own experiences, but on those of the celebrities she’s interviewed and will interview, who share their own deeply personal takes on loss and life after it.

“This is a passion project for Coleen, who wants to help other people talk about life after loss using all her own life experience to share her own stories. The podcast which inspired the book means Coleen brings the support of a host of other big names who’ve opened to her about their grief journeys, including Candice Braithwaite, Eamonn Holmes and Jake Quickenden.”
